In this video, I discuss how free markets do a much better job of providing goods and services to people than do centrally-planned economies.
It's a common mistake today to think that "really important things" (like education, healthcare, defense, food production, etc) should be delegated to the government.
If something is really important, then it is too important to be left to the government-- and should be handled by the free market instead.
So who will build the roads? That's like asking who will make the pencils, or run the grocery stores, or build the rockets, if the government doesn't do it. The answer is: anyone who wants to, or thinks that they can make a profit by doing so.
In the first few decades of the US, most roads were privately financed and constructed. And are modern government roads really that great after all?
Take healthcare out of the hands of the government. Take education out of the hands of the government. And most importantly: take money creation out of the hands of government.
Stop brainwashing people in school that money is another one of those essential government services (chartalism), or that money needs any sort of government blessing in order to function effectively.
It doesn't. Gold and silver emerged as money spontaneously over thousands of years. Gold and silver did not become money because governments blessed them. It's actually the opposite: governments began to issue coins made out of silver and gold, because the free market had already converged on those precious metals.
Government schools are responsible for teaching the big lie of chartalism, that money can only come from the government. But don't be surprised when a government warns you how essential its services are. What else would you expect to hear from a self-interested monopoly?
